Nice lakes and point betsie lighthouse too beautiful sir.i love it❤❤❤❤👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@purposeful49418]

Thanks Russ! Michigan native here and you're going through all of my favorite cities along the Michigan gold coast of Lake Michigan! As soon as I'm able to leave Texas with my retirement, I'm heading back to Michigan to live along that beautiful lakeshore! I can't believe how perfect your weather has been for you. Although July and August are usually perfect months up there. Safe travels and thanks again!

[@jesscarey7666]

Awesome video Russ! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@smokingfoxx]

Really enjoying your lighthouse tour! Spectacular footage! 👍🏻

[@cr4224ry]

Thanks again for the great video and aerial view of the lighthouse.

[@SherryAustinMcginley]

It’s beautiful! So glad you’re taking us along with you.

[@jamesgrandstaff2612]

At 6:10 there was a deer that Russ didn't see, I guess. He's so excited about everything else. I just thought I'd mention it. Thanks

[@kathy2214]

Thank you for pointing out the deer. I rewound so that I could look for it.

[@genesiesky3756]

Great aerial view of Point Betsie.

[@orionbennett7343]

Russ .... I too call Arizona my home, though was born in the state you are visiting. Born in Flint, lived the first five years of my life in a little town called Fenton .... we arrived in Arizona on my 6th birthday June of 1956 ... only once been back to visit .... so while off your grid of visit spots, this is a very enjoyable visit 'back home'. I thank you.

[@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679]

the town i was born was "an accident of birth", but farm country taught me much. my adopted "hometown" was a small town, old victorian houses, everyone knew everyone else. I live in a "suburb" now, and i don't know anyone else on my 31 home street, nor the 8 house spur. Hence "good for waht i needed, but it's time to go..to real places, real people who live normally, act normally, and actively reject the abnormal

[@mibob44]

Russ, now you know what I was telling you about M-22. Glad you were able to see the sights on M-22!

[@skyebird3933]

Love the lakes and different shades of blue. So pretty. 😊

[@edwardfast4525]

Arcadia lookout one of my favorite places ❤

[@bosse641]

Beautiful area of America.

[@blendedtravels]

Hi Russ. If you want to check out a very cool lighthouse - go to Split Rock Lighthouse on the north shore of Lake Superior, north of Duluth. It is part of the Minnesota Historical Society and you can tour the lighthouse! There is also a State Park campground nearby that you can camp at. But if the wind is off the lake - it can be chilly - even in the middle of July.

[@geraldmerkel7145]

Yo Russ, Awesome. We have stayed at cabins on the Betsie river. There was a fish ladder for the salmon right out the front door of the cabins. Beautiful country and proud to be from Michigan.

[@susanboatman7913]

Russ also when go up to the UP you have to get pasty, a holdable meat and vegetables pie. The copper miners used to take them for the meals.

[@juliebradford2999]

Love watching your Channel. Thanks for Sharing Russ! Stay Safe.

[@kathyhepler382]

Beautiful! Video!!!! Safe travels!!

[@tomshively5419]

So glad you're in our state Russell! Check out online these spots, see if you can fit them into the schedule: Tahquamenon Falls; Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes; Pictured Rocks National Seashore, Keewenau Peninsula, some of the bigees..! There also Fort Michilimack right @Bridge Michilimack

[@dennisplamondon9746]

I was born and raised in Lake Leelanau Drive up to Northport Point. Nice light house there. I live in Alaska/Arizona now.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! So glad we stopped. The aerial view showing the lighthouse was beautiful!👍

[@janeforever]

The gypsy in your soul is coming thru...when it's not on The List, sometimes you've just gotta stop🥰

[@jasper19661]

My neck of the woods -- Glad you enjoyed it . You should see Point Betsie in the winter -- amazing!

[@SPak-rt2gb]

It's pretty back there with all the trees but I'm more of a open land kind of person I like to see the stars and distant thunderstorms at night when they happen...thanks for the journey

[@richardbeee]

Wow! A red-winged blackbird singing in the distance. Wish they could figure out how to get some of that water out to the "lakes" on the Colorado; to busy trying to put a man on Mars. Love the travel and the shots! Keep those videos coming Russ. Thanks again. Got a friend up there that's placer mining those beach sands for gold. Does'nt get a lot but has fun doing so.

[@timhagens340]

If you want to see dunes keep going North to Sleeping Bear Dunes!!

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Russ😊😊, don't miss Sleeping Bear Dunes after you see Pointe Betsie Lighthouse.

[@robertjean659]

Great drive again, thanks Russ. 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@fredmooij6755]

Please note you are on the EAST SHORE. Love your show.

[@jburnett8152]

I imagine many of those places are summer homes. Very pretty.

[@steveingalls4845]

Russ, I sure hope you will be able to see Petoskey and Harbor Springs on your way to Mackinaw City. Petoskey is one of the United States most beautiful small towns, well worth the time, it sets on the heart of Little Traverse bay, between Charlevoix and Harbor Springs.

[@desertrose9499]

Love it! Are you going to Sturgis this year?

[@rvertv]

Heck Yeah !!

[@mikewhite9828]

Russ you really must go just a little further north on M-22 before you turn inland. If you don't you will miss The Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. In 2011, the area won the title of "The Most Beautiful Place in America" Plenty of opportunities to enjoy the views from a nice drive that loops around the park.

[@TravisHargiss]

Yay mackinaw is next. I was way off in one of my last comments about being across the bridge. I have but I forgot mackinaw and traverse were so far apart.

[@eileencarman9752]

Since you like Lighthouses you should go to the one in San Diego. You can tour it and get a chance to see what the lighthouse keeper lived like.

[@markbajek2541]

Try to go to Leelenau and traverse city, get out and walk the main drag , and go to the old mental hospital and the shops in the basement or take the tour of the old hospital. Ooooh too bad you skipped frankfort , it's a trerrific town , nice waterfront and some cool houses..very well kept up.

[@jasper19661]

and a nice lighthouse too!

[@rosemountfarms2897]

Russ you should take time to go over by ferry to Mackinac Island Everything is horse and carriage Bicycles no motorized vehicle except EMT You need to make time for the island. Its the most beautiful place I have ever gone to.

[@bobconner422]

If you could Hit up tunnel of trees highway 119 on your way to the Bridge. Also stop and Legs in and look around it's amazing place !

[@stephenbrown3763]

Hey Russ!!! "KEEP" Those "LIGHTHOUSES " Coming!! Be Safe!!!

[@hcrffi]

👍👍 Great to see a Small Town USA that doesn't have traffic lights.

[@onrycodger]

I'm really enjoying the adventure. Down here in southern West Virginia, the weatherman calls it "lake affect snow" during the Winter. Moisture from the Great lakes blesses us with waist deep snow, LOL. 😂

[@danbailey96]

We haven’t been too bad recently in Beckley in 1998 2 back to back snows caused a lot of problems.

[@onrycodger]

@@danbailey96, I kno what you mean. We've had some really mild Winters then Wham! out of nowhere comes a big one. 😁

[@Dave-zj1zj]

O Neck ka ma . The " old dock" is a structure to prevent Beach Erosion. They are all along the shoreline.

[@Marcy.Duvall]

Isn't that a pretty picture at about 18:47? :)

[@stephbrandenburg9957]

Flight of the Bumblebee on that detour through residential area..buzz buzz

[@BigDukeX]

Hey there Russ, EAA AirVenture is happening this week up that way. If you get the chance, swing up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Well worth the trip. Google it 😁...

[@Losttoanyreason]

Where is the campground where did Jason Voorhees lived? 😲😁 Teasing aside, lovely drive and I really liked the lighthouse.

[@garymann5998]

Good video Russ, been there in 2019, parked right where you did to see the lighthouse, , hope you get to Traverse City and do a video, travel safe.

[@michaela.chmieloski3196]

Unless they bused the people in, Russ, that must have been one, small wedding at the lighthouse.

[@DarlnDar]

Russ you should have stopped & picked me up m'friend!!

[@henrywardell4635]

God Bless United States America - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Great Video / Great Views . We Love RVerTV - Grand Journey Thru U.S.A. - Grand Videos - Grand Music. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans .

[@DreamCather147]

Humidity is bad for us southerners too !

[@joerule7179]

You missed the deer that crossed in front of you!

[@brycehongola2425]

If you are in a hurry you aren’t living properly, right. Good drone shots. Weddings such a silly idea.🌲☮️

[@CaliforniaFly]

Get some deep fried smelt. Dip it whatever you like. I really miss it.

[@BurntPopcorns]

I'm from AZ too...ever want a travel buddy ...take me with you !! ;)

[@mccow56]

You totally missed the deer right there in town.

[@garyglover3149]

You are on the east shoreline.

[@jasper19661]

west

[@williamterry9819]

ERROR! Russ, don’t skip the area between Frankfort and Mackinaw. Leelanau and Grand Traverse counties are must sees! Don’t miss Glen Arbor, Sutton’s Bay, traverse city, Petoskey, etc. these are Michigan’s most beautiful! Or, as we say in Oregon..”GO BLUE!”.

[@tommanion5504]

Crystal Lake, HUH? Not so sure that I would want to "camp" there!

[@andrewcrane6020]

I hear a hub bearing

[@leecheever903]

Russ I hope you stop at sleep ing bear dunes.

[@punkotter1867]

Oh-nek-ka-ma , now you are a northener.1st was Portage lake.

[@Droneeffect7734]
